And it's happening right now. I've abstained from opiates for a while so my tolerance is down, I'm only on about 3 mg of methadone right now but my breathing is pretty depressed, and I find myself forgetting to breathe every once in a while. I just need someone to talk to right now so I don't freak out completely. Man, I'm a mess...8(
 
3mg? I think you;re finee, just keep active if you can, don't give in to the urge to totally nod out if youre concerned you OD'd, but I doubt it. You'll be fine, if youre really worried, have a friend help you though this so if you pass out he can do something to help you.
 
You are just having bad anxiety, it's all mental. It's happened to me plenty of times.
 
You're probably right. I used to get panic attacks when I would smoke weed, I just didn't think it would ever happen with my beloved opiates... I don't know why, I just seem to be much more sensitive to the effects of methadone than other opiates/opioids. Problem is, I'm broke so I can't afford oxys and where I'm at 10 mg Dolophine are available for TWO DOLLARS a piece. This is just nasty shit, but I need some kind of fix... Thanks.
 
Yea, I'm actually quite surprised 3mg got you high at all. Even with no tolerance it always took at least 15 or 20mg, but methadone affects me weirdly. The first time i took it it didn't start to even come on until 3 hours after I took it, by which time I ended up eating two Xanax because I thought the methadone wouldn't get me high. That turned into a sloppy mess.

Are you using any other CNS depressants, benzos, alchohol? If not than it really is just paranoia. You should try and do some kind of engaging activity or take a walk, it'll get your mind off the fear of overdose, and you'll likely enjoy your buzz a lot more
 
Yeah, I'm just sensitive to methadone. Just the other day I took 40 mg of oxycodone and had no paranoia or breathing issues whatsover. I'm not on anything else, I think I'm good now. I need to get off this shit though. Now that I'm calming down, I realize that I don't actually feel high at all. That's the thing I've found out about methadone, even at doses where I don't get high, my breathing is impaired significantly. This stuff is basically just poison for me, I can't keep taking this risk for such little reward.
 
Yeah, methadone is a pretty shitty opioid for recreational purposes. It's awesome for detox, or for when you can't get your DOC, but even at higher dosages, it's euphoria isn't as nice as heroin or oxycodone IMO. Another problem is that it lasts so damn long. I would stick to weaker opiates, theyre safer for recreational usage than methadone is IMO, and they provide a better high.
 
I've been in the OP situation, plenty of times... not with the methadone even though I am in MMT so maybe we are in a similar boat. Anyway I get anxiety on all drugs all the time really, well it just happens when you're an addict to polydrug abuse and shit....

I use to freak out all the time on H after I snorted almost a gram and could not stay awake with pinpoint pupils... it happens... I know it seems impossible but I know from being a major loner the last year or so that anxiety on drugs all of them amphetamines, weed lol, and opiates, it all causes that when you have other issues in your life, which most addicts do, I do and my life is a wreck in many aspects, so I bet we are more similar than I originally thought.

The problem arises with me when (and this is an every day thing with the dosing... not the anxiety anymore) I take high doses. which my tolerance to all of them besides benzos, atm anyway, is a major bitch and a half... fuck. the tolerance though makes me think "Damn i did it this time, you really fucked up" but I really have been good, and have been eating lots of shit without that problem recently... it comes and goes, as set and setting affects it a lot too...

try walking as stated... i cant because its six degrees here now but thats the best seriously... or something else that may get your mind off the shit.

Zneg, I had the same problem. The first time I took methadone (IV), I had to surround it by doses of IV Dilaudid because it took a good 3-4 doses for me to feel and pain relieving, or even any rush effects. I would take my Dilaudid dose, then in 4 hrs instead of the next Dilaudid dose, I'd take the methadone, then the next 4 hr mark, I'd go back to the Dilaudid. For the first day, we did one methadone and five Dilaudid doses. Then the next day we did two methadone and four Dilauded doses, and so on. So by the time I was taking six methadone doses by themselves, they were working and I didn't need the Dilaudid anymore. But once you get them into your system, they work fine for tapering, as you said. Worked for me.
-V %)
 
definitely do not mix it the first time you take it, with other opiods... I just wouldn't due to its insane potency...

even if it blocks other opiates at a certain level, still until you know how it affects you I definitely would not practice that...

not to say I have not blown H on my daily methadone... that was after I got use to it and knew how it affected me though...

I did H on it way back in the day too when I took it for the hell of it to get a buzz not for the maintenance reasons like now but I knew it was a bad idea to blindly do that, regardless of tolerance. That time, after the second bag I woke up on the floor the next morning so..... yeah...

must have had a good night that means right? lol no... jk
 
Oh, I shoulda said, I was mixing them, but I was in the hospital, under drs orders. So I wasn't just guessing and checking and messing around on my own. That was the plan they came up with to get me on the methadone full and off the Dilaudid.

I love methadone for recreational purposes. I'll take methadone over heroin any day. I'll take it over heroin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, buprenorphine, codeine, kratom, tramadol, and other low potency opioids other there. Pretty much unless Its oxymorphone (soo much better than heroin) some one is trying to hand me (or some interesting opioid I haven't gotten to pleasure to try), I'll take methadone. I hate short ass durations. Opiates that last under 8 hours frustrate me unless I got a steady supply, but that means I better have a good deal of green in my pocket. Methadone offers a nice steady high that last all day, all night, and you can wake up still feeling good, especially with that fantastic night sleep you just got. It has wonderful anti-depressant effects, takes care of most of my anxiety (gets rid of any social anxiety), and does wonders for my ADHD. It lets me get things done at the right dose, or if I wanna be lazy, just kick it up a little bit and I'm good to go. If your looking for more pure euphoria breaks are a must, but for all the other fantastic effects, longer periods of use work.

I try not to dose any drug every day that it loses its magic/requires an arm and a leg to get high. Methadone def is something you gotta be a bit careful with or you'll lose a lot of the euphoria and will have more medical benefits if take constantly for to long.


Also I really can give a rats ass about a rush. I want duration.

I did a bit of oxymorphone on a lower dose of methadone than usual, and by god, that was a nice warm rush with an extended body orgasm. Just needed a little bit of k
 
This happened way more than a few times for me, but after i snorted some heroin tho. Didn't even do that much i didnt do 'A' line or lines for that matter just lil bump(s) and then all the sudden it woul be like i couldnt breathe or breathe as much as i am suppossed to. Also my finger tips would turn an almost bluish-purple more dark redish purple with slight slight blue.
 
Perhaps there's something going on with the binding of the methadone? Actually, what is your drug use history? IIRC chronicc abuse can cause pych. effects. Especially if you abused them quite a lot in the same day. Try messing with doeses, adding a weak benzo in, smoke a j even?

The truth is though that methadone loses its magic incredibly fast. IMO it should be used once a week maximum for recreational purposes. I don't know what kind of dose you're taking, but it sounds like you've never been on methadone maintenance, and methadone becomes a real bummer after about ten days of dosages 60mg and up. I'm glad you enjoy it as its relatively cheap for its potency,but I hope you don't ever become addicted to it, because it's one of the worst drugs IMO to be addicted too, it blocks other opioids and doesn't get you high, plus the withdrawals last forever. Methadone can be euphoric, but to me it's to sedating, and once you're on maintenance, you cannot get high off of ANYTHING that is an opiate/opioid
 
I was nodding at the beginning of my opiate use with 2.5 mgs of methadone but since you are an experienced user, i would definitely say its anxiety or panic attacks..........
